990,613. Road vehicle spring suspensions. DAIMLER-BENZ A.G. Oct. 21, 1963 [Oct. 24, 1962], No. 41533/63. Heading B7D. In an independent suspension for the front wheels of a motor vehicle, the lower of two triangular links 15, 16 supporting a wheel carrier 10 consists of one arm 23 of a transverse torsion bar stabilizer and a strut member 22 connected to the vehicle frame 17 by an elastic pivot 36 disposed forwardly of the wheel axis. Due to the pivot 36 being in front of the wheel axis so that the moment arm 39 about the pivot 36 of the lateral force Sa on the outside wheel when turning is greater than the moment arm 40 of the force Si on the inside wheel, and due to the stabilizer arm 23 being connected to the strut 22 and to the frame 17 by elastic sleeves 31, 32 providing greater resilience rearwardly of the vehicle than forwardly, the arm 22 and the lower end of the carrier 10 of the outer wheel deflect rearwardly when turning to decrease the castor angle of the outer wheel and reduce the steering effort required. Shims 29 between the pivot 36 and the frame 17 are removable for camber adjustment. The upper link 15 may consist of a construction similar to that of the lower link 16 but in reverse, or (as shown) comprises struts 41, 42 pivotally connected to the frame 17 by elastic sleeves mounted on a common pivot bolt 43. Stops 45, 46 on the strut 41 co-operate with a pin 47 on the carrier 10 to limit steering deflection. A track rod 48 connected to a lever arm 49 on the carrier 10 extends parallel with the strut 22 of the lower link 16. A coil spring 18 and a shock absorber are connected to the upper link 15. |
